One cannot perceive me, good sir. Oxford University Q&A:

Ha! I actually work in the skyscraper on the top right corner. When I was a kid my mom told me there were 20 guys behind that sign smoking cigarettes who all exhaled at the same time.

Why do I feel that Davey being called Pitbull in any fashion is a direct troll on this board?

These are the sorts of names you make up on the spot and mumble out when you don't want to give someone your real name. All the WWE's fake names of late have been this way. There has to be one single person making these up, because most people would come up with something better (note, for instance, that nearly every indy worker's fake name is a thousand times better than the WWE's generi-wrestler names). So who is it? Triple H? Stephanie? Whoever their lead writer is? I doubt Vince cares about coming up with names for jobbers these days. Is Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards really less generic than John Cahill or Eric Philbin? You are just used to their current names, but if the situation was reversed we would be like "What kind of lame ass writer came up wtih Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards"

Big Bang Theory?

I know ya'll are talking about this in the Movie Club, but I will defend Speed Racer to my dying breath. The Wachowskis said that they were making a live-action take on a 60s anime series, no more, no less, and that's exactly what they made. If you weren't already familiar with the source material I can see how you would think it was ridiculous, but those two made an honest-to-God love letter to that show and basically made the whole thing PURE Speed Racer. Also, John Goodman was THE perfect choice for Pops. "Was that a ninja?!" "More like a non-ja. It's embarrassing what passes for a ninja these days."

That time LBJ shot and killed a manatee in 1962?

Yeah that's way worse than four Doinks vs fucking Bastion Booger, Mr Hyperbole

Man, I hope so. If only to see the reactions of the over-the-top Davey Richards haters on this board--especially the guy with the "Davey Richards inside a steel Davey Richards" gimmick. Yeah. That dude is an asshole. Fuck whoever said that.

Are people seriously retroactively hating on the Lawler/Miz stuff? Former great trying to prove he still has it against a mouthy young upstart is a tremendous story archetype. Shit, NOAH was basically built around it for the last five years of Misawa's life. Every Clint Eastwood movie since 1992 has been a variation on this theme. I also don't buy at all that the feud with Lawler devalued the title. Miz was very clearly a heel transitional champ, even from the very beginning. If you felt when Miz won the belt that it was a changing of the guard, you were probably upset with the Lawler mini feud. If you realized a head of time that Miz was destined to lose to Cena, it was good TV and a pleasant surprise that he made it all the way to Wrestlemania. Also, that promo he cut where he was walking backstage and talking about how JBL bullied him and no one believed in him was money and doesn't get mentioned enough as one of the better promos in the past few years.

My reactions: Holy Shit. HOLY SHIT.

I can't get the QUOTE function to work, but RandomAct makes a good point: I used EGO because that's what I've been dealing with lately, but a lot of it IS just being green, etc. Sometimes you get wrapped up in the moment and you so want to shine that...yeah, you screw up and make it about you when it isn't supposed to be. I had a guy who was helping me with getting sponsors, and was working as a heel manager. He was able to get some good heat...but then his ego got in the way. He cut a ringside promo he wasn't supposed to, post-match, and the two babyfaces his team beat (who themselves have some raging egos), gave him a baseball slide to the back when he wasn't looking and knocked him down hard; he came backstage looking for justice. I very curtly pointed out that justice had, in fact, already been dished out...and reminded him even more curtly that the show didn't revolve around him.

Interesting. So for the most part, the outside folks you've worked with try to get themselves over and not the match? That DOES happen alot, but it really depends on where you're working. I've never really dealt with someone's ego getting in the way, but I've dealt with tons of inexperience, be it managers or refs. That will frustrate you just as bad, because they miss basic stuff that you would think they learned in training. Of course we've all dealt with bonehead refs with tons of experience too.

Not to be too vague, but it basically depends. Straight edge, like any dogma, varies tremendously. Generally, the people I know draw the line at recreational drug use. If it's "mandatory" - i.e., required for surgery, disease treatment, etc. - you take what you need to, but for no longer than needed. Maybe it's worth noting that many straight edge kids tend towards veg*n diets, and abstain from out-of-committed-relationship sex. So it's not like Punk has a perfect score on his edge card anyway, if we're going by the most strict rules.

Merg Turdfuck It's been done before, but who cares? http://youtu.be/RFHlJ2voJHY

Masters of the Universe because despite all of its goofiness, it had some really inspired stuff in it. Had some legit good costumes and FX for its time, and Frank Langella as Skeletor was badass. I'm disappointed Gary Goddard didn't get to have more of a film career because he comes off as a clever guy. Mattel wanted to put like every MOTU character in it and he saw how stupid that was. I remember reading an updated MOTU script by Justin Marks when the project was getting some more traction about 6 years ago. He jammed like every character in it and none of them had any impact at all. Zodiac gets introduced on page 5 to be Adam's Yoda and gets killed two pages later. Seriously. I think it's looked at more fondly now, but I've always enjoyed License to Kill and pre-Casino Royale, it was still one of my favorite Bond films. I think Robert Davi was great as a scumbag drug cartel dealer. I loved seeing Bond on a revenge trip. I like watching it today even more because of all the familiar faces that pop up in it that I recognize now.

One of my friends who was a grade younger than me snuck a bullhorn into our senior graduation and imitated the Souled Out announcer when a couple of guys we hated went up to get their diploma. The principle would call their name and my friend would yell, "American Male...LOSER" into the bullhorn. He got about three of those out before people started looking for him and he took off without getting caught.

CLUE is awesome. Anyone who doesn't like that movie is not someone I want to know.

Machida's brother returned to MMA tonight after a 3 year absence and did this:

None of that made any sense. Is Happy still with the Chinese? Why are they leveraging Pope over them when they have one of their own hostage? Why would they fuck themselves over with the deal with the Feds? That story they give the Kings seems incredibly unbelievable.

Punk/Bryan vs. Harper is awesome on paper.

On paper, this looks like the worst Survivor Series card of all-time. Big Show Vs. Randy Orton? John Cena Vs. Alberto Del Rio AGAIN. Punk/Bryan Vs. Rowan/Harper? ...UGH. Langston Vs. Axel rematch? Jesus... 7 on 7 Divas match!?!? Are you kidding me??? Cody Rhodes & Goldust, The Usos & Rey Mysterio vs. The Shield & The Real Americans is the only match with potential...and we've already seen The Rhodes Brothers & The Shield about six-hundred times. Who the Hell would pay for this card?

Jesus this thread got stupidly serious.

There are people that don't like Con Air. They're mostly yet-to-be-convicted pedophiles, but I will fight to my last breath in defence of that movie.

Surely he's done tombstones in non-televised matches? I've heard he does pheonix splashes at house shows.

Who is driving? Tiger is driving! How can that be?!?!?

Here's a few random pics that I'm saving on my cloud accounts before the Commodore 64 I've been using loses it's shite. Again. If ya'll dig em I'll drop some more jpg's this way. Enjoy! Here's some wrasslin paintings, digital and mixed media artwork; Ouchie. HOMICIDE performing "Da Cop Killa" thru a car windshield on some unlucky goof. In the amazing world of professional wrestling, Donkey Kong(or maybe Don K. Kong?!) finally gets revenge as he sits down into the Texas Cloverleaf on a not so super Mario. I've always dug ULTIMO DRAGON(the ONLY bad-ass to hold 9 belts at one time), it's almost as if he's perched over top of the wrestling world...awaiting time to return. Motor City Mapleleafs?! Bad ass, nuff said. Bane's mask is backbreaking bad-ass...but it's no match for Bat's stache. ROWDY RODDY PIPER will always be known for kicking major ass in the flick "They Live". Slick tie-in with this famous catchphrase, adding Big League Chew sinches it. I hope the images appeared on here...

Dustin the fuck are you thinking trusting Arn?

We're here!

How to get a title shot? Those men have the answer:

Remember the pictures of the classic Doctors protesting? Now we get to see the reason for that. Peter Davison wrote and directed a short starring almost EVERYBODY. Behold: The Five-ish Doctors Reboot!

I loves it, just had one problem:

One that I love that's very stupid is Yor The Hinter From the Future. By god its bad yet I love it

What kind of worthless asshole would be giddy over this kid going down with another injury?

Interesting. So for the most part, the outside folks you've worked with try to get themselves over and not the match?

Bring It On.

Lets get this back on track. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are the Road Warriors. Ok apart.. but unstoppable together..

This is entirely too awesome. http://www.wwe.com/videos/every-tombstone-ever-26165587

I would totes fap to New Scarlet Beaudreaux aka Blondie McGee. "Fap" is such a pet peeve of mine. If you're an adult, you can say "jerk off".

This features my favorite Dustyism of all time "Thats Bologna and WE ARE FULL OF IT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Wow, someone finally found a pic of "Cowboy" Bret Hart!
